The New Balance 550 draws on the design of a low-top basketball shoe from the 1980s. Its paneled upper, compact N logo, and streamlined sole give it a structured look that works with understated outfits as well as more colorful combinations. The variations play with leather, contrasting details, and branding.
This collection brings together different interpretations of the 550 in the same retro silhouette. To compare it with other shapes and generations from the brand, explore the New Balance collection. The New Balance 9060 offers an interesting contrast with its fuller proportions and more contemporary design.
